Walnut, Blueberry, Banana Ice Cream
Summer! The best time of year (in my humble opinion). And what better treat to eat on this hot summer day than this Walnut Banana Blueberry Ice Cream.
This is no ordinary ice cream. It’s sugar-free. Oil-free. And so, so delicious!
The perfect combination of frostiness, thickness, creaminess, and sweetness.
This cold and creamy treat is so extraordinary, so thick, soooo unlike your average smoothie, I couldn’t call it a smoothie. It needed a new name.
Something like, “The Thickest, Creamiest, Richest, Sugar-Free, Healthy, Sorta-Like a Smoothie-Like Treat, Except Not Really a Smoothie, that You’ve Ever Eaten with a Spoon Because You Can’t Drink It with a Straw”.
Or something like that.
(Maybe Walnut Banana Blueberry Ice Cream would be easier.)

Hi Brian,
It’s canned coconut milk. Thanks for pointing out the potential confusion. I edited the recipe to clarify.
